— NOAA / SPC storm report
Hail in Dewey · Jul 12, 2026
NEXRAD logged 5 hail signatures up to 2.5"; the estimated-size surface reached 0.75" aloft. At 2.5" — baseball — this is a severe hail signal associated with roof damage. Open it on the live map to see the swath over the streets.

Evidence / storm surfaces
How Dewey saw the hail — from two instruments
Each storm gets two readings: the radar signatures NEXRAD recorded as the cells passed overhead, and a modeled estimate of hail size in the air. They are independent surfaces, so a mismatch between them is expected — and worth reading.
Radar signature field The point detections NEXRAD recorded overhead. Each signature marks where the radar saw hail aloft — it is a detection, not a stone measured on the ground.
Estimated size field Radar-estimated hail size over the swath. The model reports the biggest stone the storm could sustain in the air; what actually fell may have been smaller.
The storm in context
Where Jul 12, 2026 sits in Dewey's hail record.
This was Dewey's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 1st of the 13 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Dewey at 2.5" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Jul 12, 2026 convective day was bigger than Dewey: the same system put hail over 367 other tracked cities, 37 of them in Arizona. Nearest: Humboldt (0 miles north, up to 2.5"); Prescott (6 miles west, up to 2.5"); Mayer (11 miles south, up to 2.5").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 13 Dewey storm dates on a live map — both surfaces, the reports, and a replay — and the same map is where you draw the swath. This page rebuilds nightly.
Ground reports
What people on the ground reported
These are storm reports filed with the National Weather Service and released through the NOAA Storm Prediction Center — public-domain observations from spotters, the public, and NWS surveys. We quote each one exactly as filed.

How the storm moved
Read from the arrival times and locations of the NOAA ground reports, not a radar-measured storm track.
Reports came from Prescott Valley — beyond Dewey itself.
Severe hail signal
What 2.5" hail means for Dewey roofs.
Two-inch-plus hail is capable of puncturing shingles, breaking skylights or windows, and heavily denting soft materials. The strongest radar bands warrant prompt inspection, but neither the signal nor the footprint confirms damage at a specific address.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$900K
Potential roof exposure — 75 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
Claim window
July 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around July 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.
Names and phones for every home in the footprint: at most $16 on top of the $150 plan.
